Browning over-exaggerates the features and beauty of the nature of England almost making them come alive with her use of personification. The poem is very descriptive and also plays on all the five senses. She shows the sense of taste with the use of the word ‘sweeter’ in line 12, ‘ Made sweeter for the step upon the grass’ and also line 20, ‘Fed full of noises by invisible streams,’ the sense of hearing is shown using the word ‘noises.’ Browning also used the repetition to give the reader a sense of continuity. She shows that nature is evergreen and will be omnipresent in this world. This can be seen with the repetition of words like ‘the’ and ‘and’.
Different visions of Australia are represented through the poetry of Robert Gray and Jeannie Baker’s picture book. While Australia is often presented as a land of diversity, some texts also discuss the complex relationship between humans and the environment to be one of renewal, or in contrast, destruction. All three texts emphasise the strong connection between man and the environment, and…. Through the composer’s view of Australia we begin to understand the diversity and complex nature of Australian culture. Australia is a peaceful and diverse country with natural beauty, however man-made aspects can be a threat.
Question: How has your understanding of the concept 'The Wild' been enhanced through your study of your class texts’? The concept of nature is how nature has the ability to be seen as a source of inspiration, reflection and renewal. The concept is profoundly displayed through the persuasive literature of poems and visual emotive effects of films.

Nature through diverse texts is deeply analysed and the concept is challenged and explored making personal, social and political comments on nature through strong, persuasive techniques and understandings to shape the reader’s view.
Dandelions are also known to be happy flowers so this sets the mood in a more soothing and calming place. The poet also uses imagery to lighten the mood up. “And a jumble of skirts spilled onto the ploughed grass,” could be portrayed in a mental image of the clothes scattering around from the laundry truck. It makes the mood less tense because instead of rather describing the horrible images of the accident, the poet decides to describe the little details of it. There was also an internal rhyme in that line which was “skirts and shirts”.
In Joe Wilson’s Courtship, Lawson conveys Joe’s strong emotions by giving his heart a human characteristic. “And, my heart gave a jump.” The way that Lawson portrays his characters emotion is very visually helpful through the use of personification, allowing the audience to further understand and reinforce the image from the emotion that the composer creates. In the Drover’s Wife, Lawson uses personification to reflect the landscape; to reinforce the tone and dry typical Australian outback. “She-oaks ‘sighing’ on the creek bed”. This visual image also provides a little bit of relief to the ear from the dry tone in the eye in the view.
This relationship for nature is shared most ardently between these two. Sometimes they exert their love for nature subconsciously. For example, when Victor has to rid himself of the female monster ruins, he chooses a lake as the venue. Even though this is not a happy moment in his life, his love for nature is what draws him to it, regardless of the circumstances: “The lake refreshed him and filled him with agreeable sensations.” Connecting with nature not only helps to calm and
An artwork called “Summer Snowballs” (2002) captures the significance of the audience’s reaction as well as the transience of the natural materials used to create the work (e.g. - wool, wheat, cow hair, pine cones and berries). These encased materials convey the nature and extent Goldsworthy went to. As it is an environmental piece, it symbolises Goldsworthy’s culture and passion for art. It also is a representation of the human interaction with the environment along with the nature of life.
Essay Question: Discuss how the distinctively visual conveys distinctive experiences in at least two of Stewart’s poems set for study and one other related text of your own choosing. Mankind’s interaction with nature has created new experiences, experiences of like no other. These experiences change mankind’s understanding of life around them. This new understanding ultimately changes their perspective of life and thus changing themselves. The distinctively visual in Douglas Stewart’s poems convey a lasting impression of nature and mankind by creating vivid images of Australian fauna and flora through the use of language techniques.
The landscape is personified as ‘’lean and hungry’’ attaining a positive connotation, through the epithet, ‘’clean’’ and creates an atmosphere of vitality and freedom. Thus, the responder is able to distinctively visualise the setting and interpret the country in a positive light. Correspondingly, both texts prioritise relationships as an interesting view of society through the distinctively
Suzanne Mrs. McCormick AP Lang. / Period 6 21 October 2012 The Great Gatsby Colors are an essential part of the world around us. They can convey messages, expressing that which words do not.
